Adding 2,000 jobs over three years, the ride-hailing company will headquarter its Uber Freight unit at the red-hot Old Post Office and make Chicago home to its largest tech center outside San Francisco.

Not bad, 2,000 new jobs. Likely high paying jobs too.

My favorite part of the article: "Uber did not seek incentives from the state"

This should be standard practice. No private federally operated company should receive tax rebates / incentives.

Uber is going bankrupt in the next recession, and they won't be handing out paychecks when that occurs...

So now you are a logistics business expert? LOL

Understand, Uber Freight isn’t going to invest here without a great deal of data that shows it’s worthwhile. This idea that a recession wipes out all spending is overblown.
